I Feel Better, Manage Cravings & Have Lost Weight Thanks To This* 

The transition to working from home a few years ago disrupted my health and fitness routine. I found it challenging to maintain a consistent workout schedule, and I noticed fluctuations in my weight, even though I don't weigh myself often.

When I did step on a scale about a year and a half later, the number was higher than I was comfortable with—particularly concerning given the metabolic issues, like blood sugar problems, that run in my family.

I've always had a larger frame (I'm 5'7'' and have never been a size 2 or 4, for context), and changing that has never been my goal.

Like most people on a weight loss journey, I started by homing in on my diet and exercise. But I ran into a few challenges. 

The first challenge was the hours at the gym. While conveniently located (right around the corner from my apartment), the gym I joined closed early.

I usually work well into the evening, so a place that closes at 8 p.m. was not a good fit for me. 

Secondly, making dietary changes also posed a challenge because I couldn't shake my late-night sweet tooth. Even if I ate healthily during the day, nighttime snacks seemed to unravel those efforts

I've always been a fan of supplementation and decided to try a general inositol supplement that I thought—according to my very limited research—would help with my blood sugar (and, by default, my metabolism), but I didn't notice a difference. 

I was hopeful about metabolism+'s benefits even before I started taking it. I was impressed with the claims that it could boost metabolic rate, regulate appetite, curb cravings, and reduce body fat and weight, and I was intrigued to see if it would live up to the hype.* My dietitian friend also gave it a thumbs-up, instilling even more confidence.

After about a week with metabolism+, I noticed my appetite was generally reduced. I wasn't hungry all the time, and my cravings were much less frequent.* And when they did arise, I was able to acknowledge them and satisfy them with smaller amounts of food, like eating a few bites of cake and then putting leftovers in the fridge to enjoy the next day.

I was 10 pounds closer to my goal weight before it started bouncing around—a number I haven't seen in years. I can't credit this all to the metabolism+, but I think the supplement helped support some of the other changes I'd been making recently.*

For example, my office recently moved locations, and the new building has a gym that's open 24/7. So I now take a gym bag to work with me (almost) daily to easily fit in a workout in the evening, and this is the most consistent I've been with an exercise schedule in years. 

I also started being more mindful of what I eat and make sure I pack nourishing foods with me for a long day at the office. (I love this overnight oats recipe and this yogurt bowl hack.)

Integrating metabolism+ into my day was a breeze. I take it after lunch (usually after 1 p.m.) since that's my first substantial meal of the day. Also, the caffeine from the green tea leaves in the supplements gives me a nice little clarity enhancement for an afternoon at work.* 

Losing weight and improving my metabolic health is not something that happened overnight. It's been a journey. But since starting metabolism+, I feel energized, motivated, and hopeful that I'll continue to feel good and supported in this ongoing process.*
